[OOS: Oliver gets cranky when he’s tired.]
Oliver has been doing a lot of walking. He's been talking to a lot of neighbours, and during those conversations he mentioned his abilities. Not everybody believed him, and not everybody wanted to take him up on his offer...but a few did. He's been patrolling their fields to increase their fertility. The land here is good - like a warm cup of tea on a cold day, like fine wine after a heavy meal.
He's patrolling around the Cooper house right now, for a much different reason. One step methodically in front of the other. He whispers words underneath his breath, gaze distant.
Once he finishes, he goes over to the earth bunker to set up some more Wards. Judging from his leisurely pace (which is not entirely due to the limp in his right leg), he could be interrupted.

And the pirate sitting on the back, sharpening his cutlasses rather pointedly.
no subject
He gives a polite nod, and a friendly, "Hello, good sir." His accent is much higher-class than Tom's, if not as upper-class as it would have been ten years ago.
no subject
"Hello to you," he says, and smirks briefly, humourlessly. "Fine weather for casting."
no subject
"Godsworn Oliver Wycliffe, at your service." A nod instead of a bow - you don't bow with healing ribs. "I'm placing a few protective Wards about the premises."
no subject
Jack touches the corner of his hat with one of his blades.
"Read to me like violent defenses." This said as he gestures vaguely to some of the thicker areas of wards.
no subject
"They are that, for demons," Oliver agrees, looking at Jack curiously. "You can sense the presence of the supernatural, I take it?"
no subject
Jack tilts his head, watching Oliver carefully. "Why put them up here?"
no subject
He doesn't quite get the need for the question. "To protect the residents within and to be alerted to any demons that might cross the Wards." Because it's a way I can actually be useful, he doesn't say.
no subject
"Aye, and what of those demons already living within?"
Jack doesn't know the word, not really. He just doesn't think it implies a bad thing.
no subject
Just a little bit on the evil side.
"Have you anything like them in your land?"
no subject
Funny, Jack knows Oliver believes every word he says. It's just - Jack doesn't believe that of Tom. And that's what counts.
"There have been many things in the lands I've visited. None as dangerous as those that speak of them."
no subject
"I am dangerous only to those that I know will harm innocents. My order is one that protects, sir."
no subject
And ceases to dance around the issue.
"Tom Therin harms no innocents, sir."

"I am setting up protective Wards, Miss, in case any demons might attack."
no subject
Well, there really isn't anything she can argue about there.
"There many around here?" she asks, a hint of hope in her voice.
no subject
"I am Godsworn Oliver Wycliffe, miss, at your service." He nods his head.
no subject
"You some kinda hunter?"
no subject
He does not ask if Sonia is a hunter as well, despite that whip she has with her. It's not quite sunk in that some girls can do what he does.
no subject
It takes her a moment to get through the five-dollar words.
"...a- are you a priest, then?"
no subject
"Yes."
no subject
"Oh, good... I was startin' to worry I might miss a Sunday..." NOW SHE WILL HOPEFULLY NOT GO TO HELL YEY.
"...I ain't even sure what day it is, anymore," she adds with a frown.

"Um, Warakiya. In Transylvania."
